The Journal of Vertebral Subluxation Research published a research study in its November 2006 issue that proved the advantages of undergoing chiropractic therapy by people suffering from vertigo. Sixty subjects who have vertigo were subjected to chiropractic therapy and the outcome of this treatment was recorded and printed in the journal.

As a side effect to this condition, they may also feel like they are moving round and round and undergo nausea. Loss of balance and falling down is also quite common among such patients. Generally, anyone who shows these symptoms is diagnosed with vertigo. Certain tests related to the nervous system may also be conducted for better diagnosis.
Fifty six patients in the present study reported that they underwent a kind of physical distress before they started suffering from the above mentioned vertigo symptoms. Twenty five of them were reported to have been involved in road accidents while sixteen had been victims of a sports related injury. Six of them had at some point in their lives had accidents on ice. The affected areas for them were the neck and the head.
The first assessment revealed that vertebral subluxations were present in all the subjects. State of the art methods like digital infrared imaging and radiography were employed to arrive at conclusive results in this regard.
Customized chiropractic therapy techniques were applied to all the patients. It was found that each of them reacted in an optimistic manner to the treatment process. However, the time taken to produce results in each case differed from one to six months. In a period spanning over six months, forty eight patients totally recovered from this ailment while the remaining showed massive progress. All of them experienced fewer bouts of dizziness and feelings of spinning after sessions of chiropractic therapy.
